NANC fibers

Most common transmitter substances found in motor and sensory NANC fibers nerve endings are


[A] substance P
[B] Purines
[C] Nitric oxide synthase
[D] Peptides



NANC fibers

NONADRENERGIC NONCHOLINERGIC NEURAL CONTROL

  • Autonomic effector tissues – gut, airways, bladder
  • Autonomic effector tissues contain nerve fibers that do not show the histochemical characteristics of either cholinergic or adrenergic
    fibers.
  • Both motor and sensory NANC fibers are present.
  • Peptides are the most common transmitter substances found in these nerve endings
  • Other substances found in these nerve endings – nitric oxide synthase and purines
